I feel safe here. I came for a quick walk and appreciated the secure entrance and exit, with many police officers and security personnel present. The area offers a nice view, along with a market selling snacks, ice cream, and water. The river view is beautiful.
Strongly recommended if you are looking for some sightseeing and great spot, this Malecon has all you might have look into Guayaquil in one place, also there are different places to grag food or snacks, activities might very from walking along the pier to ride a pirate boat, there is also a wheel of fortune and a dinasour theme park.
The Malecon is a fine, popular walk along the river with a good amount of shade. Security seemed pretty good at all entrances. Many families were there. We felt safe and secure while there during the day. There are rides and small vendors along the malecon. More upscale restaurants with river views are also available. There are plenty of good spots for pictures.

Reviews
Malecon 2000 in Guayaquil is a safe and attractive area bustling with joyful activities, especially during Christmas. Visitors appreciate the secure entrance and exit, along with the heavy military/police/security presence ensuring safety. The 2.5 km long boardwalk offers beautiful river views, park areas, restaurants, a mall, rides, and fairground attractions. It's a clean and tourist-friendly place where you can enjoy ice cream, a cinema, commercial center, and boat rides.Review score

if anybody tells you there is no museum worth visiting in Guayaquil they are wrong. This place offers some modernistic art, installations, etc. which I don't need. In the last room they show a very impressive collection of pre-columbian ceramics: amazing. These objects don't need any explanation. They speak by themselves.
Really cool walk along the water, safe as there is lots of security, and lots of stores you can buy food and goods from
